Well... if this is the kind of service that i can expect from companies that
'support' saturns (i.e. not just trying to make a $$$), then i'm glad i'm
out.

the guys at SRC (or XRC, whatever they are now) had also said they would
work up a set for me... with koni inserts.  I called a few times, sent a few
emails, etc... I basically said "i have the money, i want a good strut setup
for autoX".   Now when a potential customer calls and says they're ready to
drop $1500 on a set of shocks, then if i were them i would sit up and listen
and actually respond.  I kept emailing and calling and after a while i just
got no response anymore.

Many other car makes with better aftermarket support also have a much better
aftermarket parts dealer network.  If i called a bmw, porsche, honda, or
mazda shop and told them what i wanted (and they had the availability of
parts and can do this work - i'm not saying they should drop everything and
run off and custom machine a set of titanium shock housings) they'd have at
least tried to figure out what i want, then tell me what they can do, and
offer some suggestions as to how they can best meet my needs as a customer
(or hell, at least sell me something!).

So..  as soon as the sc2 is sold, i start work on getting a 325is to
autocross, and assail D-Stock with...

Recap:

F@#% SPS
F@#% SRC
F@#% Progress
F@#% AEM
F@#% Stromung (remember them?)
F@#% Energy Suspension

Oh yeah... Joey's cool.  He can stay.  I'll be sure to remember all of this
when i pick up a 92SC shell to start building an ITA car out of in a year or
so.  All of these guys that have acted like assholes or blown off customers
and parts suppliers (SPS) wont be getting my business when i *really* start
spending money on a saturn (no more playing in the parking lot sandbox with
saturns).  At least ordering parts and getting things for my RX7 has been
really painless, and there's a very good Mazda Rotary shop in the area.  One
less thing to worry about.

Cheers,

Ryan
